City of dreams, that far and high

is all suffused with pearl and rose,

Above red sunsets hangs and glows,

held aloft between earth and sky.

A city of clouds raised up high

On mountain peaks, eternal snow

Within its bounds; grey rivers flow

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Beyond even where eagles fly.

And in that space, the upper air,

Walls of mist and vapours stand,

Its towers gleam with magic light.

And round their spires the sun now flares

O'er rounded domes, where banners fanned

By sylphine winds, borne into night.
